Abstract: 3531. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Feb. 13, 1908. Loose-nailing. - The driver - actuating m echanism of a loose nailer is arranged so that the fastener i s driven with a blow instead of a shove, and is set by a second blow, so that a uniform insertion of the fasteners in the work is ensured, notwithstanding variations in the hardness of the material. The machine is of the usual type, and may be provided with a starting - clutch mechanism similar to that described in Specification 9828/97, [Class 17, Boots &c.]. The driver-bar is provided with a rack meshing with a segmental gear on the front end of a bell-crank link 22, the other arm of which carries a roll 26, which travels in a groove 28 in a cam 30. This groove is in the form of an harmonic curve, but is provided with an enlarged portion 32. Its action causes the driver to be forced down positively until the roll reaches the portion 32, whereupon the weight and acquired momentum of the driver carry the latter forward at a speed greater than that imparted to it by the cam-groove, thus causing a blow to be delivered to the fastener. The cam, however, continues to revolve, and the side of its groove soon engages the roll 26 again, causing a second or setting blow to be delivered to the fastener.
